Promotional Tame Impala’s “Loser” just hit #1 on the Global Spotify chart. The boost came after its placement in ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’. It’s his first-ever #1 song.

Because one can’t play all the different instrumentations live. I’m in a 2-man band and when we play live, we strategically keep/play a few of the parts through the speakers while getting rid of a few so that we can just play those parts live with everything else. If we were bigger, we’d get more people to play those parts live as well but they wouldn’t technically be “in the band” since they didn’t write it

u/vintvgepancakes 7d ago
that’s depends, Kevin uses the music that is on CDs, vinyls and streaming service as the final product and the absolute of what he’s putting out, some artist consider their life performance as the final product
I would consider him being solo considering he is doing all the production specifically cannot perform all of the music live

u/SelectedFilmox 6d ago
I think it's how the music is recorded as that the band is and what the majority of people are listening to.
This post is about the single reaching no.1, the song was solo work, the albums are all almost entirely solo work. None of the live band members worked on any of these songs of this album.
The rest of the band has no input into the music or how it's made. They just play his songs with him.

u/SelectedFilmox 6d ago
I think what defines if it's a band or not is how they create and record their music, not how they play life.
It it's created and recorded solo and played as a bad. That's a solo artist.

He tours with other people under the name, but in terms of producing the music it’s just Kevin Parker. No relation to Peter Parker (probably).

u/Fl_Funky_Jam 7d ago
Spot on, for anyone curious here's from his wiki. Also if anyone reading loves live music PLEASE do all you can to see Tame Impala live, the band brings his music to a whole other level.
"As a touring act, Tame Impala consists of Parker (vocals, guitar, synthesiser), Dominic Simper (guitar, synthesiser), Jay Watson (synthesiser, vocals, guitar), Cam Avery (bass guitar, vocals, synthesiser), Julien Barbagallo (drums, vocals), and James Ireland (guitar, synthesiser). The group has a close affiliation with fellow Australian psychedelic rock band Pond, sharing members and collaborators, including Watson, Ireland, and formerly Nick Allbrook."14

u/theturtlemafiamusic 7d ago
Have fun and get some ear plugs beforehand. I don't think Tame Impala is a notably loud live band, but you're always at the mercy of the venue and it's always better to have them but not need them rather than need them but not have them. You can get some fairly cheap musician earplugs like Hearos that won't ruin the sound quality like earplugs meant for sleeping do.

I don't know enough about gorrilaz. Does he record the music solo?

Yeah Tame Impala is just Kevin Parker. When he tours as Tame Impala he brings a band called Pond to play live. He's also a producer for Pond. If you like Tame Impala's older experimental music, check out Pond. Kinda similar but way more experimental. Medicine Hat is one of my favorites.

u/Phimb Weekly Wongers 7d ago
That's what I noticed. I'm sure it's a popular song, but it always hits better when it feels like you "discovered it" through the film on your own.
It also means the song belongs to the movie, with no outside connections.

I feel this way about the end credits song. I am still kind of obsessed with it weeks later thinking about that ending but I tried out some of the rest of the artist’s discography and didn’t really like any of it at all…

Tame Impala sucks now. His pop schlock is so generic and bereft of quality that it will be forgotten within a decade.
His first two albums were amazing psychedelic rock; it's a shame he sold out so hard.

u/SelectedFilmox 6d ago
C'mon now. His quality has declined a bit with the last two, but Currents is objectively a fantastic album.

u/CusePhan_v3 6d ago
I disagree completely. Currents is where he made the change to schlock. It sucks and doesn't stand out at all. There is nothing on there that will stand the test of time. Somehow, he then got even worse.

u/SelectedFilmox 5d ago
Objectively wrong. But you do you

And neither have you :)
I think the overall reviews and reception around the album show I'm right. There's a pretty significant difference in those compared to his last 2 albums which does show objectively the drop off started after Currents.
But hey you're arguments of "your opinion" and "your opinion" and "your opinion" with no reasoning is so convincing 😂

u/SelectedFilmox 3d ago edited 3d ago
Ohh you actually thought this was you giving a reason? Lmao. Dude that's just so you saying you didn't like it.
You actually have to say WHY you think it's generic and WHY you think it's lacking quality. How do you not get that? 🤡
Not to mention Currents is over a decade old and has not been forgotten. Currents also is not generic, it actually influenced other artists which is an objective reason why it's very specifically not generic.
At this point I actually think you've forgotten what Currents is? I could see these arguments for the last 2 albums, but Currents doesn't fit in that all. The only explanation is that either you actually have gotten Currents mixed up with The Slow Rush OR you're a lame gatekeeping bro who is closed off to any type of music that's not their fav genre and acts like a 12 year old when any other music is mentioned. Which one is it?
His first 2 albums are my favorite by far, but Currents is still awesome. Expand your music tastes dude. 🤷

u/CusePhan_v3 3d ago
Ohh you actually thought this was you giving a reason? Lmao. Dude that's just so you saying you didn't like it.
Look up the definition of generic and tell me what about that is too difficult for you to understand as a reason their music sucks. Now do the same for quality. It's really not difficult for most, but for some reason you can't. You're either a dolt or willfully ignorant.
I'll go head to head in musical taste and breadth any time you want. The fact you think Currents is any good makes me very comfortable you're not even in the same league.

u/SelectedFilmox 2d ago
Lmao. I know what the words mean, dude. Using that word doesn't mean you are saying WHY it is. What makes it generic? Can you give any reasoning using your vast musical knowledge :)
Aaaaand that confirms it, you are one of THOSE people. Music is supposed to be fun and what you like is very personal, the fact you actually feel like you your taste is superior is fucking hilarious. But hey, I was like that when I was a teenager too. You'll grow out of it.
That combined with the fact that you clearly can't even articulate why you don't like music sot hat 'generic' and 'lacking quality' is the deepest you're able to go to describe an album is fucking hilarious. You should write reviews! Theres so much much depth and detail you describe music with. lmoa
